Figure 2.4 - Typical NLX Home Page
2.2.2 Configuring the TCP/IP Settings
In the menu bar at the top of the browser screen (Figure 2.4.1 and 2.4.2), click the "Configure" link. In the TCP/IP Settings block of the
Configuration screen (See Figure 2.5 - next page), set the TCP/IP settings to the desired values for the network to which the NetLink
will be connected.
Consult your IT department for information on these settings.
After completing the TCP/IP settings, click the "Submit" button in the bottom right corner of the TCP/IP Settings box. Note that the new TCP/IP
settings will not take effect until the Netlink is rebooted or power to the Netlink is cycled.
If the Netlink is connected to a DHCP network and DHCP is enabled, the DHCP server will automatically configure the TCP/IP settings.
Note that you will need the Network Scan tool available at http://www.lifesafetypower.com/support/software-firmware-downloads
to locate the Netlink's IP address before logging into the Netlink board.
Note: The port number used by the Netlink can also be set in the Port# field. By default the Netlink is set to use port 443. Connection
to the NetLink must be through HTTPS.
Note: To access the Netlink board from outside the installation site's firewall, the firewall must have the ports used by the Netlink for https, and
SNMP (if used) open. See your IT department for firewall port opening details.
